“This fast, easy dip can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. Depending on the ingredients, it can be mild to medium. This really needs to be served warm, as it has a layer of cheese that gets firm when cool. It reheats well, but is best when fresh. Serve with plain tortilla chips.” - by Bob Williams

2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chile peppers, drained

"Very tasty recipe! I chose this for New Year's Eve because I had all the ingredients on hand. The one change I made was to add the chopped onion in with the ground beef. Hubby doesn't like raw onion, ..." See morebut I wanted the flavor and this worked well. I had the sour cream on the side as an optional topping as well as chopped green onions for that raw onion crunch. Thanks for a tasty recipe!"

"I served this over brown rice as a main course. I thought it would have been better if it was thicker by substituting a chunky salsa instead of the picante sauce, which often is more liquidy. I also..." See more would have liked half the amount of cheese. A lb. of cheese is quite a bit."
